That's also corporate funding and buying power. They will fund lower prices to crush the little guy and then raise their prices when the little guys are gone.

They can buy their fertilizer, diesel, and seeds in bulk at discount. Your little guy cannot.

Your little guy will be there, keeping his produce on the shelf, while the big guys products can't get through because shipping routes are closed.
